1 5. Housing Other Relevant Policies & Bylaws Several City-wide policies guide our priorities for housing diversity at the neighbourhood level: Goals 1. Encourage more housing diversity while maintaining the low-rise character of the neighbourhood and streets 2. Create more opportunities for more affordable ownership 3. Create rental housing attractive for long-term residents 4. Encourage new housing attractive to families with children 5. Protect historic homes 6. Retain the urban forest and historic character in Queen Anne Heights/Lower Foul Bay/Gonzales Hill Gonzales is characterized by its tree-lined residential streets, historic homes, landscaped front yards and generous backyards. While it appears to be mainly a single family neighbourhood in character, there are many secondary suites, heritage conversions and some garden suites. Duplexes, small apartment buildings and some townhouses add to Gonzales housing mix. Most of the neighbourhood is designated as a Traditional Residential area, with the exception of Oak Bay Avenue Village and small commercial areas along Fairfield Road. Gonzales has a significant population over the age of 65, as well as a high proportion of families with children living at home. The majority of residents own their home and there is a lower proportion of renters compared to the rest of the City. The need for infill development, renovation and replacement of housing are likely to continue, and the design and fit of new and old is an important neighbourhood concern. This plan supports a mix of housing options for people of different income levels, lifestyles and household sizes and provides more choice for people to stay in the neighbourhood as they age. It encourages different types of ground-oriented housing options that fit into the existing scale and character of Gonzales. It encourages family-friendly townhouses and rowhouses in different parts of Gonzales, designed to fit with the surrounding streets. It encourages low-rise multi-unit buildings Official Community Plan Victoria Housing Strategy Rental Retention Strategy (upcoming) Design Guidelines by transit and urban villages on Fairfield Road. These different housing options are intended to increase the supply and diversity of quality rental housing and make home ownership more affordable through expanded mortgage-helping suites. New housing is intended to complement the existing character of Gonzales through features such as generous open space in front and rear yards, and building design that encourages neighbourliness. While diverse housing options are encouraged for most of the neighbourhood, this should be tempered in the Queen Anne Heights, Foul Bay Road and Gonzales Hill area. This area is characterized by its large lots and significant Garry Oak meadows and other trees. Because of the significant contribution that this area makes to the tree canopy in both Gonzales and the whole city, retaining the surrounding trees and terrestrial ecosystems is a priority. Future housing in this area should intensify the existing buildings or footprint, rather than expanding into open space. DRAFT city of victoria Neighbourhood Plan 39

3 Housing Principles for Housing in Traditional Residential Areas Housing within the Traditional Residential areas is intended to provide a range of ground-oriented forms of housing supporting ownership and rental opportunities for different household sizes Guiding Principles for Housing in Traditional Residential Areas: Maintain neighbourhood character of green, landscaped front and back yards with tree-lined streets Provide new housing suitable for a wide variety of people including families with children Provide opportunities for more affordable home ownership Provide more quality rental opportunities for a range of household sizes and types Support livability and access to outdoor space Design new housing to present a friendly face to the street Ensure new housing is neighbourly to adjacent development and back yards Recognize that different housing may be appropriate on busier streets than on local streets Recognize that different housing types may be appropriate for different lot conditions, based on lot size, dimensions, topography, and presence of laneways or double frontages. Some redevelopment may be feasible only with lot assemblage Mitigate impacts of surface parking, through proper design, landscaping and screening; parking reductions; and enclosed parking In the Queen Anne Heights/ Foul Bay Road/ Gonzales Hill Area, retaining tree canopy and open space is a priority Encourage new development to complement historic buildings and streets. DRAFT city of victoria Neighbourhood Plan 41
4 Housing Traditional Residential Housing Sub-Areas Within its Traditional Residential areas, Gonzales contains a wide variety of lot sizes, configurations, topography and varying proximity to amenities such as transit, parks and commercial areas. Based on these conditions, Gonzales can be divided into three general sub-areas. Different conditions support different types of housing appropriate to each of these sub-areas Traditional Residential Area 1: Fairfield Road Corridor Create a mix of housing options attractive for rental and ownership for a range of income levels and household types including singles, couples, seniors and young families. Increase the number of residents living on Fairfield Road to support frequent transit and retail businesses in the urban villages Appropriate housing types in this area include: Low rise apartment building up to three storeys Townhouse and rowhouse Triplex Duplex + secondary suite 5.3. Traditional Residential Area 2: Queen Anne Heights/ Foul Bay Road/ Gonzales Hill Area: Support housing forms and siting in the Queen Anne Heights/ Foul Bay Road/ Gonzales Hill area in order to protect natural areas and the tree canopy. Maintain the historic, green, large lot character of the area. Support heritage conservation Appropriate housing types in this area include: House conversion Triplex Duplex Duplex + secondary suites Single detached house + secondary suite Single detached house + garden suite Single detached house Other forms of ground-oriented attached housing such as townhouse and rowhouse that generally fall within previously disturbed areas (see section 5.5) will be considered. 42 Neighbourhood Plan city of victoria DRAFT

6 5.5. Rezoning Policies for Queen Anne Heights/ Foul Bay Road/ Gonzales Hill The following policies are intended to guide rezoning in specific geographic areas, and should be considered in conjunction with design guidelines developed pursuant to this plan Encourage thoughtful site planning to minimize disturbance to open space and the tree canopy Support the conversion of existing buildings to multiple unit buildings (two or more units) as an alternative to the subdivision of large lots or to small lot rezonings Support rezonings for residential uses where retention of the urban forest on the site is maximized, such as conversion of existing building with careful additions or new buildings generally within the footprint of the existing building or previously disturbed area (eg. existing parking lot, tennis court) For rezonings that add density, encourage property owners to register natural area covenants protecting trees, native ecosystems and landscape features Small lot house rezoning applications are not supported in this area The existing panhandle lot policies notwithstanding, panhandle lot subdivisions and further strata titling or subdivision of existing panhandle lots are not supported in the Queen Anne Heights/ Foul Bay/ Gonzales Hill area Support the conservation of houses of heritage merit, including sensitive rehabilitation and careful additions Encourage new housing development to meet the relevant objectives for Traditional Residential Housing Types in this chapter. Where there is conflict between these objectives and the protection of natural areas, site planning should prioritize the protection of natural areas 5.6. Policies for Waterfront Properties Townhouses and rowhouses are not supported on waterfront lots Subdivision into panhandle lots or small lots will not be supported on waterfront lots Design that retains glimpses of the water between buildings from public streets and lands is encouraged With any rezoning which adds density, respect the urban form and character objectives ( ) of this plan Adopt city-wide guidance for future development consistent with Provincial guidance on sea level rise. 44 Neighbourhood Plan city of victoria DRAFT
7 Housing Traditional Residential Housing Types This section describes the desirable characteristics for types of housing appropriate within the Traditional Residential Areas in Gonzales. This is not meant to be an exhaustive or prescriptive list, and creativity in design and site layout is encouraged, while respecting the intent and appropriate design guidelines. Local example of a small apartment building 5.7. Small Apartment Buildings To provide opportunities for additional multi-unit living along a transit corridor in close proximity to existing urban villages Locations: Along Fairfield Road between St. Charles Street and Foul Bay Road Density: 1.0 FSR Height: Multi-unit residential buildings up to three storeys in height. Figure 2: Illustrative example of a street facing rowhouse, showing private driveway, and private frontyard and backyard Townhouses and Rowhouses To provide more housing options for residents seeking ground-oriented housing units with access to on-site open space, as an alternative to single detached homes Locations: a. Street-fronting rowhouses with parking located in the front of the lot, or with parking accessed from a lane or side street, are supported throughout the neighbourhood b. Townhouse configurations with one or more rows of units, where one row fronts the street, with parking located at the side or internal to the site, are supported in the following areas: i.in the blocks bounded by Fairfield Road, Richmond Avenue, Richardson Street, and St. Charles Street Figure 3: Illustrative example of a street-facing townhouse, showing shared driveway and parking access. ii.in the blocks bounded by Gonzales Avenue, Madison Avenue, Glenlyon Norfolk School, and Richmond Avenue Site Requirements: a.

8 Figure 4: Illustrative example of street-fronting rowhouses showing front, rear and side setbacks that complement the development pattern of other houses on the street Density: Up to 0.75 Floor Space Ratio for rowhouses Height: a. Limited to either two storeys, or to 1½ storeys with basement, consistent with Gonzales existing residential zoning. Where the height of the buildings in the surrounding area exceeds two storeys, additional height up to 2½ storeys may be considered. b. On Fairfield Road west of Foul Bay Road, up to 2½ storeys Parking: Consider the reduction of on-site parking requirements to support quality site plans and unit livability, based on proximity to services and transit, and the availability of on-street parking. Figure 5: Illustrative example of street-facing townhouses with two rows of units on consolidated lot. Front, rear and side setbacks complement the development pattern of other homes on the street. Side setbacks for rear units are more generous to respect adjecent yards and buildings. Figure 6: Illustrative example of street-facing townhouses with two rows of units on a single lot Figure 7: Illustrative example of a duplex, with or without suite 5.9. Duplexes and Triplexes Support more intensive forms of ground-oriented housing that are compatible with the single family character of the neighbourhood Locations: Triplexes, duplexes, and duplexes with secondary suites are supported throughout Gonzales in accordance with site requirements Site requirements: a.

10 Housing Urban Form and Character Objectives for Infill Development Figure 10. Semi-private open space delineated yet visible from the public realm. Figure 11. Example of duplex with legible front entries. Figure 12. Cross section of a townhouse development, showing internal building separation. The following objectives should inform the creation of zoning and design guidelines for infill development of two or more units in the Traditional Residential areas: Urban Form and Character Objectives To achieve street-fronting buildings that present a friendly face to the street To encourage design strategies that delineate private front-yard spaces from the public sidewalk while maintaining visibility of housing units To site buildings in a manner which maintains Gonzales pattern of green front yards, tree-lined streets, generous back yards, adequate separation between houses and respect for privacy and sunlight To encourage site planning which results in rear yards not dominated by parking To soften the appearance of and reduce runoff from driveways To encourage the conservation and adaptive reuse of heritage properties by supporting variations to form and siting To minimize on-site and rear yard hardscape by supporting frontyard parking for rowhouses and for duplexes on wider lots To site main buildings in the front of the lot, thereby supporting open space, landscape and accessory buildings in the rear For the design and site planning of townhouses, to encourage a front row of townhouses facing the street; to discourage townhouses oriented perpendicular to the street; and to provide for outdoor space and respect privacy where townhomes are oriented to the side lot line To encourage design and site planning that supports access to sunlight for living spaces and outdoor spaces To design parking areas to support pedestrian comfort, access to sunlight, and attractive entries to housing units To provide individual units with access to useable outdoor open space To support well-designed duplexes whether oriented side-by-side, front-to-back or up-down In front-to-back duplexes, to encourage designs which have legible front 48 Neighbourhood Plan city of victoria DRAFT
11 entries and which provide each unit with adjacent useable landscaped open space In the Queen Anne Heights/ Foul Bay Road/ Gonzales Hill area, to respect existing topography, natural features such as rock outcrops, mature trees and plantings, and historic landscapes. To retain and incorporate existing and natural landscape features, as much as possible, in any proposed development Considerations for Zoning In order to support the Urban Form and Character Objectives above, the following should be considered in developing zoning for infill development Consider the following recommended setbacks in developing zoning: a. Front setback: 6 metres b. Side setback adjacent to another lot for buildings fronting a public street: 1.5 metres c. Side setback for buildings not fronting a public street (e.g. townhouses interior to the lot): 4m d. Side setback adjacent to a flanking street or public right-of way: 3.5 metres. e. Rear setback for townhouses or apartments: 9 metres f. Rear setback for all other forms: Greater of 9 metres or 30% of lot depth DRAFT city of victoria Neighbourhood Plan 49
